GONE IN 60, Gort, Concepts, Santa, Legends, Books & Grease!

Howdy you NINKUMPOOP NUMBNUTS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! We start off with an all-new GONE IN 60 SECONDS Fireball Masterprint, with a little follow-up destruction by GORT!! You remember Gort? He was the original Cylon… only he didn’t know it. 😉

BUT DID YOU KNOW?? Gort was loosely inspired by the character “Gnut” from the short story “Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates. He was portrayed by Lock Martin, a 7’7″ tall actor and wore a thick foam-rubber suit, painted with aluminum to give it a metallic appearance. Two Gort suits were created to achieve a seamless metallic look on screen. One had fasteners in the back for front-facing shots, and the other had fasteners in the front for shots of Gort walking away. Lifts were incorporated into the suit’s boots to make him appear even taller… and Prisms were used to allow Martin to see out of the helmet’s visor, as it extended nearly a foot above his head!! Air holes were also provided under the robot’s chin for breathing.

And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… We celebrate a BEST OF SHOW with John Zimmerman’s 1947 Pickup, discover Fireball’s Secret Florida Pad hidden deep in the Everglades, scoot back to 1969 where Fireball raced his first car on the Track in Santa’s Village in Arrowhead! PLUS, at the LA Auto Show with GENE WINFIELD, scramblin’ shenanigans with WRENCH NATION’S Frank Leutz (Have you picked up the Coloring Book, yet??) and peruses awesome rides with Chef Lawrence Flinton and Ted Coleman!
